Closings

Please Note: All Pools are now re-opened with their regular schedule.

POOL CLOSURE DETAILS:

The health and safety of our members and participants is our most important priority.

On November 7th, we were made aware of a confirmed case of Cryptosporidium in an individual that previously used our pool. As a precaution, we voluntarily closed the pools to hyper chlorinate them according to CDC guidelines and under the guidance of the Waukesha County Public Health Division. The pools reopened following those treatments, as is standard protocol.

On November 13th, we learned that there had been two more confirmed cases of Cryptosporidium among YMCA members. While we had no reason to believe that the YMCA pools were the source of those cases, out of an abundance of caution, and to help prevent any further spread of Cryptosporidium, we took a number of additional steps:

We voluntarily closed all pools through Nov 25th.

We hyper chlorinated all pools, per CDC guidelines.

We are also took proactive steps within the YMCA to ensure that all spaces and supplies were thoroughly disinfected and posed no safety risk.

More information about Cryptosporidium is available online at the CDC and State Health Department. We encourage anyone that feels they are experiencing any symptoms to reach out to the Waukesha County Public Health Division at (262) 896-8430.

It was critical that we treated this with the utmost precaution and transparency. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Jon Lange

Chief Executive Officer

YMCA at Pabst Farms
